Lisa & Leslie,
I just finished my 3rd cycle of clomid (no luck yet). I experience the
pain also, which my doc says is a good thing because it means I have
"good size follicle". Are you having an ultrasound every month? I have
a vaginal ultrasound every month on day 12 of my cycle to see how the
follicles are. Last month I had 2 very large ones in one ovary (on the
side I experienced the pain). I find that the pain goes away
immediately after I ovulate. I start the ovulation testing on day 10
and start testing twice a day on day 12 for my LH surge. It gets
expensive, your best bet is just to break down and by the ClearPlan Easy
Ovulation Indicator for $200. Because a pack of 5 tests is about $20
and each month you can go through 3 packs depending on when you find
your surge. After the surge then its 3 days of intercourse.
About the side effects, I didn't experience any physical effects, but I
have never been so depressed in my life! Usually by the 4th day I am
crying at everything. I have gotten so depressed I have had to leave
work. I thought I was going crazy, but the doc says that is very
normal. I hope you don't experience it.
Sorry so long. Good Luck!!!
